Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo just had one hell of a time onstage with alt-rock group Paramore. 

Your ol' pal Dustin from Netflix's beloved series hit the stage at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Tuesday night, to join lead singer Hayley Williams for a bit of a cameo.

Matarazzo backed Williams up with harmonies during a performance of "Misery Business" from Paramore's 2007 album Riot!. According to Billboard, Matarazzo's band, Work in Progress, regularly covers the song, so you'd better believe he was goddamn ready.

Look at him go! What a legend!

According to the publisher, Williams had seen Matarazzo's band cover another Paramore song, "Miz Biz," months ago, and invited the young star to come and "thrash those luscious locks around" with the band onstage sometime via Twitter.

Matarazzo's Work in Progress has covered the likes of Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam during their gigs. Might be time for a little duet with Eddie Vedder or Dave Grohl?
